PEDRO GÓMEZ-EGAÑAA - MIGHT ARRIVES
The best part of space travel is the moment when you leave the earth’s atmosphere and realise that there is no longer a danger of falling. You are taken by a fantastic machine to the rolling, black softness of space.
Orbiting is a combination of strengths that result in a circle.
But then, when you re-enter, you get reminded that mortality means that you are trapped. You are inside a pull that makes down out of any place. A magnetic field is a roundness that makes you look up and take cover.This spring's second solo exhibition at Hordaland Art Centre is a performance which looks like an installation. Might arrives by Pedro Gómez-Egaña is to be found on the first floor inside one of the offices, as well as outside our many hundred year old detached house at Klosteret.
Gómez-Egaña's background is from music and composing as well as visual arts, something which manifests itself in his works, where timing is crucial. He presents different scenarios where we as participants are lucky to live to tell his tales. There are often huge distances, long perspectives and small and big catastrophes embedded in his works. In a frozen three dimensional cartoon Might arrives leads our thoughts to space and eternity. This is Gómez-Egaña's first solo exhibition in Norway.
In the event of the exhibition we are publishing an extensive excerpt from a forthcoming essay on Gómez-Egaña's work, written by the dramaturg Bojana Bauer.
